UNSPSC 50525401: Non GMO abate fetel pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO abate fetel pears. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50525401 Non GMO abate fetel pears is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities dataset shows no relevant procurement activity under this code. The posted solicitations are uniformly for fresh produce sourcing to school nutrition programs—bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus fruits, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, potatoes, onions, melons, and eggs—with no instances of fetel pears (GMO or non-GMO) appearing in any of the specifications or bid documents reviewed.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation activity reflects a common data-entry or taxonomy-mapping issue in state and local procurement systems. School districts, county boards of education, and other issuing bodies across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin have posted 16 recent opportunities for fresh produce supply contracts spanning February through July 2026, but pears of any variety are mentioned in only two specifications: the Bulloch County School District IFP (pears listed among 24 produce items) and the Glynn County Board of Education IFB (no pears specified). Neither solicitation restricts pears to non-GMO cultivars or names fetel varieties by name. If pursuing this code, verify with procurement offices directly whether fetel pear requests are being issued under different UNSPSC codes, through cooperative purchasing vehicles, or via standing orders outside the posted solicitation notices.
